Traditional Worship Service

Time - Our traditional worship service starts at 8:30am and typically ends by 9:30am.

Atmosphere -
The first service is more quiet and reflective. An order of worship is
followed from the bulletin with announcements, hymns, spoken responses
by the congregation, a message, Bible readings, songs by the choir,
prayers, and a departing blessing. Some responses are sung. Those
familiar with the traditional liturgical Lutheran orders of
worship would describe our "traditional" service as more of a blended
style but will be able to recognize the invocation, confession,
absolution,etc. easily.

Attire - Come
as you are! You'll find jeans and t-shirts to suits and ties on those
attending first service. Our pastor and other people helping
with first service do wear traditional white robes during this service
representing how our sins are covered and forgiven through Christ.

Music - The
service blends old favorite hymns such as "Amazing Grace", "I Know My
Redeemer Lives", and "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" with some newer
favorites such as "White as Snow" or other Maranatha selections. Music
is usually presented on organ or piano, and other instruments on
occasion. Most Sundays the choir also blesses the congregation with music that allows one to reflect on the message!

Other -
A free will offering is collected each Sunday during both services and
communion is offered during second and fourth Sundays of the month.
